Coppell Proposal JBM and Associates, Inc. The planning process is divided into 5 separate work elements. Each is important and fits together to form a whole. The elements of the plan are as follows: I H m IV V Inventory and Analyses Land Use Alternatives Selected Land Use Plan Impact Analysis of Selected Land Use Plan Meetings and Reports The work will be coordinated with the City and the appropriate Departments as it progresses with the Consultant making a series of presentations to the City Staff. These presentations will be made at key points in the preparation of the plan so that adequate input will be obtained in order to proceed to subsequent work items. I INVFJNTQRY AND ANALYSES - The purpose of the inventory is to provide a comprehensive data base from which planning and design can proceed. Three tasks are involved in the collection and assembly of the data base. Data collection, Trend Analyses and Market Evaluation. Task A. Data Collection: Identification of the physical characteristics of the study area including topography, drainage patterns and soils. The purpose of the investigation will be to determine how the physical characteristics of the area will affect future development. These data will be organized as one component of the data base. Maps will be prepared for each element using U.S.G.S. or other appropriate base maps. * The City will provide available topography, drainage, and soils maps. Identification of the man-made characteristics of the study area including land utilization, transportation facilities, public utilities and park needs. These data will be mapped at a suitable scale. Existing data will be used where available. These data will be supplemented as needed with data which are collected in the field. Base maps and/or aerial photographs suitable for the study will be identified. Standard mapping scales will be determined for the collection of data and preparation of plans. Available base maps and aerial photographs will be provided by the City. Coppell Proposal JBM and Associates, Inc. Data and information will be obtained from the City concerning the legal characteristics of land in the study area. These data will include the following: property ownership, rights-of-way and easements, zoning maps and subdivisions regulations. The zones and other legal characteristics will be mapped. The purpose for collection of these data will be to determine legal limitations to land utilization, planning and plan implementation. The information will be delineated on maps suitable for presentation purposes. Visual and environmental characteristics will be identified which may affect the plan. The characteristics will include areas having significant viewing potentials, special environmental features and other unique characteristics. Attention will be focused on both the natural and the manmade environments. The Consultant will collect and evaluate this data and the characteristics of the area will be delineated on maps suitable for presentation purposes. The existing streets and highways in the study area will be identified including their characteristic, condition, traffic carrying capacities and current volumes. The Consultant will collect these data using professional and para-professional staff. Data will be provided by the City, State Highway Departments, and other agencies, as available. Field data will be collected as needed. Task B. Trend Analyses: Population -- The current population in the area will be estimated including the rate of growth since 1980. Current Population data will be shown by age cohort in 5 year increments. Population cohorts will be forecast by 5 year increments from 1990 - 2005. Population data will be compiled and forecast by the Consultant. Available population data will be provided by the City and COG. These data will provide the Consultant with fundamental data and information required for the remaining elements of the study. Employment -- The current employment in the study area will be determined including the rate of growth since 1980. Employment will be shown by SIC category for the nonagricultural sector. Employment will be forecast by 5 year increments from 1990 - 2005. These studies and forecast will take into consideration studies which have been made for the Coppell Proposal JBM and Associates, Inc. Employment data will be compiled and forecast by the Consultant. Data sources will include the City, Development Organizations, the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Census. These data will be used in remaining elements of the study. Overall area forecast will be used by the Consultants as base forecast from which study area forecast will be derived. Household forecast will be derived for the projected population of the study area. The forecast will include the number of households by type, the rate of growth since 1980 and a forecast for the 1990-2005 period by 5 year increments. The forecast will be for single and multi-family households. Income forecast will be prepared for the study area based on projections of income for the metropolitan area. Data will be compiled for median family, per capita, and per household incomes. The source of this information will be the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Housing and Urban development. The rate of growth for income will be determined and forecast for 1990-2005 in :5 year increments. Based on the forecast outlined above, projections will be prepared for vehicular volume after consideration is given to existing counts, area and regional forecast of traffic volumes based on available models and studies prepared by COG and the RPO. Final vehicle volume forecast will be tempered by the final recommendation found in the area plan. Task C. Market Evaluation: An overall assessment will be made of the growth of the metropolitan area market for residential, office, commercial and industrial development. This assessment will be based on plans, studies, reports and policies of the Cities, Counties and development organizations located in the metropolitan The purpose of the investigation will be to determine the relationship of the study area and its economic activity to that of the meffopolitan area. The analysis will also explore the potential the area has to grow on the basis of attraction of development which is not currently present in the metropolitan area or which is responsive to the growth of national markets as opposed to growth in the population of the metropolitan area. Coppell Proposal JBM and Associates, Inc. l' The result of the fore-going analyses will be the establishment of trends of development which are apparent in the metropolitan area. The extent to which these trends affect the development of the study area will be determined. The purpose of the analyses will be to determine, to the greatest extent possible, where and how new development will be located in or near to the study area. It should be noted here that national economic events will have a great influence upon the development of the metropolitan area and that these events can not be accounted for in this type of study. However, assumptions will be stated at the outset of the research to set parameters within which the study will be conducted. The same can be said for technology and other changes which are essentially cultural. A forecast will be prepared for development in the area to include the following: * Residential development Single family Multi-family * Commercial development Shopping centers Other commercial * Office development Single tenant General purpose Medical/dental * Industrial development Light Other Estimates will be provided by number of acres for each of the above described land uses for 5 year increments. Forecast will be made of vehicle volumes considering the following: * Land use requirements * Area traffic volumes * Assumed transportation system ,. Coppell Proposal July 1993 JBM and Associates, Inc. Finally, an evaluation will be made of the effects of geography on the nature and extent of market development. The accessibility of the area will be evaluated from its location within the metropolitan area, as well as the accessibility within the area itself. These analyses will be principally concerned with the timing of development and the relationship of land use and transportation to the growth of the market. H LAND USE ALTERNATIVES -- This element of the study will layout land use alternatives for purposes of discussion among the project participants including the City and the public. Task A. Assumptions: Underlying assumptions which affect the development of the study area will be determined. These will include factors effecting the economic development of the area, changes in public and private development policies, and input from the public concerning the form and acceptability of new development. Task B. Alternative Plans: Three (3) alternatives for development of the area will be presented. Generally, three separate sets of assumptions will be stated about the growth of the area including a slow growth, moderate and high growth scenarios. The assumptions about growth and the proposals for development will be prepared by the Consultant. The alternative plans will be reviewed with the City staff participants. After comments, the Consultant will evaluate the responses and select a recommended plan. The traffic impact of each of the three land use alternatives developed for the study area will be evaluated. The traffic analysis will consider alternate street and highway alignments, as well as, the varying traffic generation characteristics of each alternate land use plan. IH ~EI.F~TED LAND USE PLAN Task A. Objectives: * Objectives for development of the study area will be stated in some detoil. This work will be synthesized from all of the tasks outlined above. ,_ Coppell Proposal July 1993 JBM and A~sociates, Inc. Task B. Detail of Plan: A plan for land use development of the area will be presented in at least the following detail: * Residential (single family & multi-family) * Office development * Commercial development * Industrial development * Street system * Parks and open space IV IMPACT ANALYSIS OF SELECTI~D LAND USE PLAN Task A. Traffic Projections: Projections will be made of the on-site and off-site street volume of traffic expected to be generated by the new development. These estimates will be made by 5 year increments from 1990-2005. The number and extent of new traffic and transportation facilities needed to accommodate the estimated traffic volumes will be determined. These facilities will be phased according to the development needs of the area. Task B. Fee Structure: Estimates will be made of the need for transportation improvements such as streets and highways. Estimates will be made of the need for public utilities to serve the area including water and sewer services (if requested as part of this study). Estimates will be made of the need for community facilities to serve the area including fn'e, police and emergency services (if requested as part of this study). Estimates of the needs for parks and open space to serve the area will be obtained from the Park and Recreation Departments (if requested as part of this study). A fee structure will be developed to address funding needs as they relate to transportation related improvements such as streets and highways. This fee structure will more than likely be based on an assessment of the proportional transportation needs resulting from new growth over the anticipated study period. Coppell Proposal .~uty t 993 JBM and Associates, Inc. If desired as part of this study, the Consultant can perform the same fee assessment analysis for other community needs such as: water and sewer services; fire, police, and emergency services; and parks and open spaces. V MEETINGS AND REPORTS Task A. Meetings: The Consultant will attend up to five (5) meetings with a technical/advisory committee during the preparation of the study and one meeting each with the Planning Commission and City Council. Task B. Reports: Prior to each technical/advisory meeting the Consultant will prepare a report for review and comment. Upon approval of the recommended fee structure the Consultant will submit camera-ready copy of the final report, including maps, for printing by the City. The Consultant will also provide 100 bound copies of the final report to the City. · -- Coppell Proposal July 1993 JBM and Associates, Inc. u.I J EDUCATION SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE B.S. in Civil Engineering 1-35/119th Street Interchange Project, Olathe, Texas A & M University, 1969 Kansas.

Examples of specific projects include: project/Location Mississippi Gulf Coast Area Gulf-port, Mississippi Owner/Client Mississippi Gulf Regional Planning Commission Mississippi State Highway Department Federal Highway Administration Project Description The transportation study update provided Local Jurisdictions (6 cities, 3 counties) with a system- wide Level III review (lVlajor Update) of the transportation service demands, facility deficiencies, improvement needs, and cost estimates for the Gulf Coast Area. The comprehensive plan up-date included three (3) distinct tasks. Task 1 was the re-calibration of the transportation model to reflect the impact of region's socio-economie changes and up-grading of the area's street and highway network. The calibration process followed standard procedures of the Federal Highway Administration and Mississippi State Highway Department. Task H involved the preparation of a Short-Range Transportation Plan to reflect a five (5) year capital improvement program involving three (3) counties and six (6) cities. In the process, a consensus was achieved in adopting the plan and was a building block in developing a 20-Year Transportation Plan. The final element was Task III - Long Range Transportation Plan. This phase developed a series of transportation plan improvement in five (5) intervals through the year 2000. project/Location Joplin Metropolitan Area Joplin, Missouri City of Joplin Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission Federal Highway Commission Project Description This transportation study update of the 1960 study provided a transportation system plan for this metropolitan area through the year 2000. The study area included the Cities of Joplin. Webb City, Carl Junction and other developed and non-developed portions of Jasper County and Newton County. The Quick Response System II (QRS II) network modeling system was used to calibrate and develop trip projections and traffic assignments. The QRS II Program was installed on the City's computer system by the Consultant, and the local staff was trained by the Consultant for updates and/or network modifications as part of the continuing transportation planning process. A short-term and long-term transportation improvement was developed and prioritized by five (5) year intervals from 1990 through 2010. Coppell Proposal July 1993 JBM and Associates, Inc. Pro) ect/Location Land Use Intensity Study and Updates Overland Park, Kansas Owner/Client City of Overland Park, Kansas pro_iect Description This study analyzed the following: the validity of the Land Use Intensity Systems and the current Master Plan; the traffic impact of approved but unbuilt developments; and if reasonable transportation facilities could be built to serve these land uses and intensifies. This study updated and expanded upon and earlier study completed by the Consultant for a smaller triangular area bounded by U.S. 69, Metcalf Avenue, and 103rd Street which resulted in some "downzoning' of development tracts and revisions in the Land Use Intensity values. The TModel Transportation Planning software was u 'tflized and calibrated for the study area of approximately 20 square miles. The study has been updated several times by the Consultant to recognize changes in the Master Plan, new development plans and facility improvements. The study included current and ultimate traffic assignments to the major roadway system serving the area and described intersection and interchange geometries needed to serve these demands. The study described the following situation -- what if everything develops as approved and zoned, can reasonable facilities be developed to serve these ultimate demands.
